It is not unusual that students who want to apply for graduate schools or the Post-Graduate Work Permit need a document confirming that they have completed their program before they officially graduate in June or October. Students in need of such a document can apply for the Verification of Program Completion letter (formerly known as the Verification of Graduation letter; $12 per copy).
Students must also apply for graduation in order to officially graduate. Please go to the Convocation webpage to fill out the Application for Graduation Form (free of charge), so that you will be included on the graduation list!
